O that my words were written down! O that they were inscribed in a book! O that with an iron pen and with lead they were engraved on a rock forever! —Job 19:23–24
Outcast and utterly alone, Job pours out his anguish to his Maker. From the depths of his pain, he reveals a trust in God’s goodness that is stronger than his despair, giving humanity some of the most beautiful and poetic verses of all time. Paraclete’s Iron Pen imprint is inspired by this spirit of unvarnished honesty and tenacious hope.
